So it's a regression from squeeze and 100% reproducible? From the
point of view of fixing it, that's excellent news.
Sorry for replying so late, but yes, I can reproduce it reliably.
Except for the list of affected versions, this looks like
[*] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15816. If you have
time, could you do the following?
- first, test the latest kernel from experimental
No improvement with linux-image-3.0.0-rc5.
- find the first affected upstream release by running a bisection
search through packages at snapshot.debian.org
The first affected version seems to be 2.6.38-1.
- try the debugging patch from Raphael Wysoki's upsteam [*]
comment #7, using instructions from here:
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-building
and Documentation/applying-patches.txt and let Raphael know
the result and details about your case (e.g., by commenting on the
upstream report).
- try using git bisect to find out which upstream change
introduced the bug, like so:
I'll do that when I get some time, which may not be for a few weeks
though, since I got some exams coming up.
Cheers,
Daniel
